The Father Henri Bosmans (S.J.) (1852-1928)
Archive

As a tribute to the Belgian historian of mathematics, Henri Bosmans, we present here an archive with information about
his life and works and a complete database of his writings. Most of his
publications have been in the Annales de la
sociétéscientifique de Bruxelles, Revue des Questions scientifiquesand
Mathesis, which might be difficult to find. As
such, we respond to the unanswered call by George Sarton (1949) to bring Bosmans’ publications under the attention of a wider
audience. This project will make available PDF scans of most of his writing.

Biography

An online database with all publication of
Henri Bosmans. This bibliography started from
the article by A. Rome (1929) which is fairly complete concerning articles, but
leaves out several interesting reviews of books and other publications. Henri Bernard-Maître (1950) compiled a more comprehensive bibliography of
Bosmans’ articles containing 241 entries. With currently
298 entries, our bibliography is the most complete resource on the publications
by Henri Bosmans.
